Modest remnants of Issac are rumbling through the southern portion of NW Ohio this Sunday morning. Some places had over 3 inches of rain in a short period of time. August did finish much-wetter for these here parts. Quite normal, actually. Grass is actually growing again.

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

We got whacked today with heavy rain from the remains of tropical cyclone Isaac. Suppose to continue tonight and tomorrow. The low pressure system is forecast to re-enter the Gulf. Not again. No, not again.

The Circle of Life? Or maybe the unbelievable Circle of Hurricane Hell?

Strong to severe storms in the forecast for this evening (round 1) and tonight (round 2). It's the round 2 storms that I hate: late arriving with the threat for tornadoes. I'll be watching the local weather folks closely this evening ...

It was 42º here and I have yet to put the top or doors back on my Jeep. I was riding to work with my wool peacoat, tweed hat, and lined gloves today. My goal is to see how late into the year I can stand leaving the doors off.

Stupid Weather

The weather this weekend ticked me off. We are trying to finish painting the front of our house, but we were not able to do any painting on Saturday because the forecast called for rain all day. The radar had large amounts of rain to the north, west, and east of the City.... but we got no rain.

We did get a few hours of painting in yesterday, and I hope we can get more in tonight. Maybe move the scaffolding to the next section. It is going to be sunny and dry all week, so it should be a good week for painting.

Dan. Seriously do you wait till there is more than one Volvo before you take a pic? There can't be THAT many of those in that town, can there be?

Going to the cabin tonight with dad. Supposed to be in the high 20's when we get there. The gas is currently off so it will be cold till we can turn it on. Something tells me that I may be spending the night at a motel!

Heating the air space in a cold cabin isn't too bad but a mattress that's been refrigerated can suck the life out of you. Down filled sleeping bags are the answer.
